Lyrics

In the shuffling madess Of the locomotive breath Runs the all-time loser Headlong to his death He feels the piston scraping -- Steam breaking on his brow -- Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down He sees his children jumping off At the stations -- one by one His woman and his best friend -- In bed and having fun He's crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees -- Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down He hears the silence howling -- Catches angels as they fall And the all-time winner Has got him by the balls He picks up Gideons Bible -- Open at page one -- Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down
